Ginseng Roots & Powders
We offer an assortment of high quality ginseng roots and powders, including Korean, Chinese and American varieties. Ginseng was one of the earliest herbs to be harvested in this country, and is prized in Asia for its purported curative properties. Ginseng root is said to have numerous desired qualities, including increased energy and stamina, protection against stress, enhanced strength and even promotion of relaxation.
Chinese Ginseng (Panax ginseng), Red and White, is widely used to strengthen the immune system, increase strength and vigor, revitalize, and aid recovery from weakness after illness. Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is considered to be the most yang-stimulating variety, reputedly increasing energy and stamina, and is traditionally used as a tonic herb by those who need an energy boost or face stress in their lives. High-grade six-year-old whole roots are used for both Chinese and Korean Ginseng for their desired effectiveness.
American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) is characterized as yin, which is cooling, soothing and restoring. Thus, it is traditionally believed to be ideal for the yang-excessive – those who are constitutionally hot: the active, agitated, and stressed – and for physical and emotional stress. High-grade four-year-old, or 8-year organic whole roots are used for their desired effectiveness.
